Out of the movies I've seen:
Avatar- Fuck no.
Hurt Locker- Abso-fucking-lutely. Movie of the year.
Up!- Definitely. Won't win Best Picture, but it gets Best Animated Feature hands down
Inglourious Basterds- I was disappointed, but it's a good flick. Not BP-worthy, though. It'll be a travesty if Waltz doesn't get the supporting actor award.
District 9- Second favorite movie of the year, but it doesn't have a chance in hell.

I still need to see A Serious Man, Up In the Air, and Crazy Heart.

Frustrated that fifty years from now people will look over the 2010 awards season and say "Eh, I guess Christoph Waltz was the only good part about Inglourious Basterds" when it was easily one of the best-cast movies of all time (everyone but BJ Novak turns in awesome performances).

Also, I'm insanely biased towards IB as it is my second favorite movie of all time so I'll be rooting for it in every category it's nominated in. Also, I hope Sandra Bullock wins best actress so elite Hollywood has to put her romantic comedy-making name on a statue. :D

This. (plus, she actually kinda deserves it for the performance - it was really quite good, I thought)

I don't know, man - did you see Coraline? That was pretty impressive as well - they were both damn good.

My exact thoughts. If Avatar wins I am going to find out who's dick James Cameron has been sucking and kill them.

I personally think Avatar should win at least one award. I loved it. Perhaps not all of them, but one or two, it is impressive in many areas.

I have no problem with it sweeping the technical awards. But it has no business winning Best Picture.

As long as The Hurt Locker wins either Best Picture or Best Director, I'll be happy, but I'd rather it win both. For Kathryn Bigelow to be the first woman to win the director award (for a gritty war movie, no less) would be so cool.
